An international fleet of tall ships takes over the city of Cádiz in Spain for The Tall Ships Races Cádiz 2020. This event will offer a fantastic opportunity for visitors to step aboard many beautiful tall ships from across the world while thousands of crew members meet and compete with their counterparts, bringing international friendship and culture to the forefront of what is sure to be an event like no other.

Having hosted the Tall Ships Races at least 6 times before, Cádiz is sure to offer a truly unforgettable festival experience. If you're there for a while, highlights to look out for are the crew parade which sees hundreds of crew members take to the streets in celebration, fireworks on the closing evening and of course the parade of sail, which will see the tall ships wave goodbye to the city of Cádiz in quite spectacular fashion.

After Cádiz, The Tall Ships Races 2020 fleet will race North for a short while before the cruise-in-company takes them the remaining distance to A Coruña in Spain. From there they’ll race further North, across the Bay of Biscay to the finale in Dunkirk, France, a city which will be welcoming The Tall Ships Races for the very first time.
